I took a look at tomcat.exe, it is a renamed service wrapper from common daemon (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/daemon/procrun.html) It is invoked with //IS// parameter to install the service. Parameters that are given to this installation command are memorized 'somewhere' and used to run the service.
To know what parameter are given to service, you have 3 options 1- download source code of tomcat windows installer and look how it invoke this service wrapper 2- dive in registry (probably using the common daemon docs) to find out where it store invocation parameters 3- wait for an expert to answer your question Sorry for not diving myself further, am not using windows, i just took a look at source code out of curiosity.
